sergio mendes & brasil 66 whacht what happens

[@charleskirby6143]

Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66 is the most beautiful and purist form of music and vocals ever!!!!!! Lani Hall has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard spanning the 60s to 2022!!!!!!! The keyboards, rhythm, and vocals are superb beyond comparison!!!!!!!!

[@FreeSociety1]

Why does Lani get all the "credit" and all the fame, when Janis and her are always singing together simultaneously. I find it very hard to distinguish between the two voices when they perform, and ... there are not any "vocal solos" going on -- it is always them as a duet together.

[@eddietroianetti9004]

I loved Janis,, She was SO WONDERFUL ❤ I really turned against Sergio Mendez for firing her and not hiring her back..

[@LAwoman1956]

This was magic never to be done again! A fan for decades! I have to sing along. Lani and Hansen were heaven with their blended vocals.

[@roboneil408]

I'm so taken by Lani's simple beauty and absolutely incredible voice. 😍

[@poloshirtsamurai]

I only discovered that last October. First saw her face in the Come What May music video this year. Loved her voice, found her pretty and loved that she had a sense of humor too. Looked her up in Wikipedia and wow... Never knew she was one of the driving force for Brasil 66 that I've listened too growing up. Fell in love her more.

[@QuickWorksBeauty]

Also married Herb Alpert!

[@pasqualemuzzupappa1991]

Why are you all so stubborn. Does Lani Hall sing alone? By chance, Is there another phenomenal vocalist, or do I dream?

[@CuppaTea_UK]

Absolutely superb ... takes me right back to when I was a young woman, and the world was a kind, intelligent, beautiful place. Thank you very much indeed.

[@beckynelson6786]

This was a golden time.I was a young teen but I really appreciated the beauty of this gorgeous music.It lifts the spirits.In our trouble filled world we can know that people don't just destroy.They create beautiful art. Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 created a bit of heaven.

[@rr7firefly]

I would extend that appreciation to the entire Bossa Nova phenomenon. This was also the time of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto (plus his singer wife Astrud, who became internationally famous singing "The Girl from Ipanema."

[@shasha-muse6054]

Hey Becky, the first time I heard sergio mendes...I was six. My father was driving on the van Wyck expressway with me in the back seat listening to 93 WPAT and one of their songs came on. From that day on I was hooked and I mean hooked. At six you can imagine the kind of heckling I received from my friends. I didn't care. I've been in love with sergio and bossa nova in general ever since, and that was 1968. At 60 now and still can't get enough of it. You my dear have great taste in music. Peace and love.

Lani and Janis deserve a very unique special place in music history. The dual effect of the voices merging into that Whole Sound that was the signature of these many incredible Brasil 66 songs (there are approximately 24! of these scintillatingly shiny, glossy, elegant songs recorded).

[@robertp.wainman4094]

I used to think it was just one voice - so perfectly they sing together.

The sound of their layered voices just gorgeous. Both singers simultaneously singing the lyrics with expert precision combining so exactly. The combining of their voices into that ultra memorable single sound.

[@johnstephen7610]

@ It's Janis singing solo at 1:45 into the video. At the start of the song, I'm not sure anybody really knows. I've heard it's Lani Hall multi-tracked, I've heard it's both Lani and Janis, I've heard it's Lani and another woman but not Janis, and every other permutation.

[@johnstephen7610]

@limeyleafsfan Janis Hansen was with the group before Karen Phillip. Janis and Lani were the two singers when Brasil 66 first made it big.

[@wesleycarusos1265]

Def Janis the second part of the song...if you are a true fan there voices are very different and distinct...Sergio used Janis a lot on Equinox

[@johndipinto4084]

@limeyleafsfan Janis Hansen actually did the solo lead vocal parts on The Look Of Love, which was on their next album Look Around and became their biggest single. Ironically, and unfortunately, by the time it was a radio hit she was out of the group - Mendes dismissed the entire original lineup after that album to form a brand new band, although Lani Hall ultimately returned to continue as the primary lead vocalist (I believe at Herb Alpert's request).

[@johndipinto4084]

@limeyleafsfan Actually I just discovered the existence of an album recorded in 1969 by a group called the Carnival, which was a vocal quartet formed by Janis Hansen and fellow ex-Brasil '66 member José Soares, who is the percussionist in this video. Despite being produced by Bones Howe, who was a heavy-hitter at the time, and having A-list session musicians playing on it, the album didn't do well and the group disbanded without recording a follow-up. Some of their songs are on KZbin - here's one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4bVhXyMj9qjaKs I really like their sound - sort of Brasil' 66-Meets-The-Fifth-Dimension, leaning a little more toward the latter. I'd love to get the CD but it seems like it's very hard to find now. I believe Hansen subsequently married and left the music business but eventually returned to doing music projects for herself. Sadly she passed away in 2017. You can find out more if you Google her, but beware: there is also an actress named Janis Hansen who was on the Odd Couple TV show in the 1970's, who is not the same person. :)

Farewell and job superbly done, Sergio Mendez. Along with Herb Alpert and Burt Bacharach, your brilliance makes up what I like to refer to as the 60s 'musical TRIFECTA.' Oh how we need your smooth, sophisticated, bosa-nova interpretations of catchy melodies more NOW than ever -- particularly when acknowledging the cultural wasteland in which we presently find ourselves. And one more thing: SO WISH dresses were STILL that short.
